MINERALS AVAILABILITY COMMODITY DIRECTORY ON PHOSPHATE 

By Dale R. Spangenberg, Edward F, Carey, and Paula M. Takosky" 



ABSTRACT 

This Bureau of Mines Information Circular on phosphate is one of a 
series of minerals availability commodity directories. Nonconfidential 
information from the Minerals Availability Program data base covering 
148 domestic and 103 foreign phosphate properties and deposits has been 
abstracted for use in this directory. Abstracts include applicable 
data on location, published reserves and resources, geology, mine and 
benef iciation systems, and operational information.

INTRODUCTION 



This publication is one of a series of 
commodity directories from the Bureau of 
Mines Minerals Availability Program. The 
directory is intended to provide Govern- 
ment personnel and the general public 
with site-specific information on major 
identified domestic and foreign phosphate 
properties and deposits. It is a compi- 
lation of nonproprietary deposit informa- 
tion abstracted from the Minerals Avail- 
ability Program data base. Included in 
the abstracts are locational information, 
published reserve and resource estima- 
tions, geological descriptions, mine and 
benef iciation systems, and actual or es- 
timated operational parameters. 

The Bureau of Mines Minerals Availabil- 
ity Program conducts engineering and eco- 
nomic availability appraisals of nonfuel 
mineral commodities. These appraisals 
are made after systematic resource and 
engineering-cost evaluations of site- 
specific deposits have been conducted and 
the data entered into the Minerals Avail- 
ability Program data base. Deposits are 
chosen for evaluation based on their con- 
tribution or potential to significantly 
contribute to the overall availability of 
a commodity. 

The reserve and resource data presented 
in this report are restricted to in- 
formation on specific deposits, or ag- 
gregated deposits, obtained from pub- 
lished sources. Minerals availability 
assessments on reserve and resource data 



often are based on information provided 
by mining firms as company confidential 
data which cannot be presented in non- 
aggregated form. The published data pre- 
sented herein are included to provide 
some information on reserve and resource 
potentials for given deposits, or aggre- 
gated deposits. These values may not 
represent the most current information 
being utilized in the Bureau's analysis 
or the amount of reserve at a given 
property. 

The comparison of reserve and resource 
information as presented in this report 
and other Minerals Availability Program 
reports with estimates from other 
sources, on either a specific property, 
aggregated properties, or commodity ba- 
sis, may show differences in estimates. 
Differences may be due to variations in 
terminology, changes in estimates of re- 
serve and resource data over time, and 
the source of the estimates. Factors af- 
fecting such changes include the number 
of deposits considered, changes in eco- 
nomic conditions, additional exploration 
efforts, and depletion of ore due to pro- 
duction. These factors may account for 
discrepancies in the amount of reserves 
and resources being compared. 

Additional information on the Minerals 
Availability Program appears in Informa- 
tion Circular 8887, "The Bureau of Mines 
Minerals Availability System: An Update 
of Information Circular 8654." 



ACKNOWLEDGMENTS 



Compilation of the phosphate directory 
was supported by the Minerals Availabil- 
ity Program staff at the Eastern Field 
Operations Center, Pittsburgh, Pa., and 
coordinated through the Division of 
Minerals Availability, Washington, D.C. 
The deposit evaluations included in the 
Minerals Availabilty Program data base, 



from which information for this directory 
was abstracted, were completed by evalu- 
ators at the Eastern Field Operations 
Center, Pittsburgh, Pa., Intermountain 
Field Operations Center, Denver, Colo., 
Western Field Operations Center, Spokane, 
Wash., and Minerals Availability Field 
Office, Denver, Colo. 



ORGANIZATION OF DIRECTORY ABSTRACTS 



The Directory is divided into domestic 
and foreign sections. Domestic deposits 
are listed alphabetically by State and 
county; foreign deposits are listed by 
country and political subdivision. With- 
in each country or political subdivision, 



deposits are listed by Minerals Avail- 
ability Program sequence number. 4 The 
number of domestic deposits is summarized 
in table 1, and the number of foreign de- 
posits in table 2.

4 The sequence number is a unique 10-digit reference number assigned to each de- 
posit. For domestic deposits, the first three digits designate the State, the next 
three digits designate the county, and the last four digits designate a number unique 
to each deposit within that State and county. For foreign deposits, the first three 
digits designate the nation, the next three digits designate the political subdivi- 
sion, and the last four digits designate a number unique to each deposit within that 
nation and political subdivision. 



Each deposit abstract consists of six 

data sets. These are listed below in the 

order in which they appear within an 
abstract. 

1. Location and general deposit 
information. 

2. Published reserve and resource 
information. 

3. Deposit historical information. 

4. Geological and spatial characteris- 
tics of deposit. 

5. Mine and mill information. 

6. Bibliographic records. 

Each abstract is composed of screened 
data elements of an individual deposit 
selected from the Minerals Availability 
Program data base. Proprietary data 



elements have been omitted from this di- 
rectory. Because of the limited amount 
of published reserve information on indi- 
vidual domestic phosphate deposits, ag- 
gregated reserve and resource information 
has been included for domestic deposits, 
on a broader area basis. Mine and mill 
operational information is included only 
for phosphate deposits that are currently 
producing or temporarily shut down. The 
date the information was obtained is in- 
cluded in each deposit abstract. Metric 
units are used throughout the abstract 
listings in this directory. 

Two appendixes are included as an aid 
in directory use. Appendix A presents 
an alphabetical listing of abstracts by 
deposit name. Appendix B presents a 
listing of abstract data sets, subsets, 
and data elements that may appear in 
the abstracts; terms with usage particu- 
lar to this directory are defined in 
brackets.
